It’s officially smokescreen season for the NBA Draft. Rumors are swirling, but some of them have to be true, right? Even though the Cleveland Cavaliers are presumably out of the running for the top three players in the class, that hasn’t stopped the NBA media from speculating. According to Basketball Insiders’ Steve Kyler, the Cavs […]

The NBA trade deadline is just three weeks away, and the Cleveland Cavaliers should once again be busy.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cavs acting head coach Larry Drew has been thrown into a difficult situation in Cleveland, and his new team has continued to struggle under his leadership.

According to Zach Lowe of ESPN, the Cleveland Cavaliers would have traded the 8th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft to the Charlotte Hornets for All-Star point guard Kemba Walker had LeBron James committed to re-signing.

The Cleveland Cavaliers front office is in a rather difficult position, not only going into this NBA Draft blindfolded, but also without any clear notion of how to make LeBron James opt into his player-option for 2018-19. Their best bet? A shot in the dark, but one that could make him take a quick glance […]

It’s turning out to be a very busy offseason for the Cleveland Cavaliers’ front office. After losing in the 2018 NBA Finals via a four-game sweep at the hands of the Golden State Warriors, the Cavs’ focus is now on improving the team. It’s going to be a stretch to say that the team will improve […]

There are a lot of questions about what would keep LeBron James with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and one option could be trading the 8th pick that they got in the trade with the Brooklyn Nets, for an already established star.

Hell of a night!!! — Kevin Love […]
